THE CARRIAGE EXCHANGE



LMS Porthole CK In Scotland
  • This site is run as a non profit making exercise by the LMSCA in order to assist other restorers of Heritage Railway Carriages, at Heritage Railways or Museums.
  • Adverts are free of charge.
  • Any requests for adverts or enquiries by more commercial organisations, or for personal use, may be refused. Prices quoted may be for sales to other Heritage Railway Carriage restorers, and could therefore be somewhat reduced.
  • Any adverts for suppliers or contractors are placed only after recommendations about their services have been received.

27'10.5" over headstocks, which could make it suitable for re-use under something, though it's not of very 'British' appearance and is of pretty low capacity so would probably need modifying if it was to be used in anger.

FOR SALE - MOQUETTE
I am putting together two orders for moquette with Camira Fabrics (formerly Holdsworths). Anyone who wishes to join in with either order should please contact me as soon as possible and in any event before 13th June 2009. We are ordering both the standard BR Blue / Green check pattern and the standard BR Trojan (Grey with multicoloured flecks). Each roll will be 25 metres long and will cost £462.50 plus VAT. For guidance, to fully reupholster a Mk 1 coach (Open or Corridor) will take approximately 90 metres - depending upon whether you include the side panels and arm rests. We shall require a cheque for 50% of your order in advance. The balance will be payable upon collection. I am hoping to submit the orders in mid June, so please do not delay. We need to make up orders of a minimum of 16 rolls of each fabric to make this work.
